There's a little girl, wanna make her mine   What she wants, I don't know   If red means stop and green means go   Her light is always yellow      I'm wrapped around her finger   She's slipping through my hands   Every time I think I got her, I gotta think again      I'm holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go   Just a whole lot of heartache   At the end of my rope      I fall a little harder every time I drop   But I keep reachin', I can't stop   Holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go      She calls me on the phone   Says she's all alone   Feelin' kind of lonely      Says she can't wait so don't be late   I promise her I won't be   Ten minutes later I'm standin' at her door   She's sayin', "Never mind, I ain't lonely anymore"      I'm holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go   Just a whole lot of heartache   At the end of my rope      I fall a little harder every time I drop   But I keep reachin' 'cause I can't stop   Holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go      I fall a little harder every time I drop   But I keep reachin', I just can't stop      I'm holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go   (Holdin' on to something)   (That keeps lettin' me go)      I'm holdin' on to something   That keeps lettin' me go   (Holdin' on to something)   (That keeps lettin' me go)
